Problem

My phone is not registered and displays a "Transport Error: (Pending) packet XXXXXX: generating fake" in the log

Solution

The "fake" error is because every transaction in SIP needs to be terminated with a response. The response is needed to release the memory associated with the packet. The fake is generated when the destination obviously will not generate a response, e.g. when it responds with an ICMP error, or the address could not be resolved (DNS issue). A timeout is also a reason to generate a "fake" message.

Try using IP addresses instead of DNS names or a local DNS server that does not depend on the Internet connection.
